My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 1272: Caught Red-Handed
Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Caught Red-Handed
Qiao Yin was taken home by Lu Lingche once again.
She couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless, "Lu Lingche, weren’t you supposed to take me to Grandma’s house? Why are we back at your place?"
"Grandma is hosting a dinner for a few of her friends at the hotel tonight, including your grandmother and the Old Sir of Wang Family, so even if you went back to Grandma’s house, there wouldn’t be any dinner for you."
"Grandma is having dinner with friends?"
Qiao Yin was somewhat surprised, she didn’t have a clue about this news at all. How could it be that Lu Lingche was so well-informed?
"Even if Grandma is out for dinner with friends, I could have gone back to my own home. I don’t want to come here."
"Grandma specifically told me to take good care of you tonight and to not let you go hungry."
Lu Lingche pulled her into the living room, "Dinner is already prepared, you just have to sit down and enjoy it."
When Qiao Yin walked in, she indeed smelled a distinct aroma. Had he really had someone prepare dinner in advance?
"Don’t you dislike strangers coming to your house? Now how can you allow someone to come over and cook?"
"No rule is unbreakable."
Lu Lingche pulled her to sit down at the dining table, saying indifferently, "If the food is prepared and then brought over, it can easily get cold, and the taste would not be as good. It’s better to have someone come over and cook."
He lifted the lid off the soup bowl and served Qiao Yin a bowl, "Grandma instructed me to prepare pigeon soup for you. Try it and see."
Qiao Yin took the small bowl and took a sip, feeling warm inside her stomach and heart, "Grandma really cares for me. She still remembers I like this soup. I need to be more filial to her in the future."
Lu Lingche also served himself a bowl and sat down beside her, "Does only Grandma care for you? Don’t I care about you?"
"How have you cared for me?"
"This pigeon soup was clearly prepared by me, why are you only thankful to Grandma?"
"Because you only prepared it under Grandma’s orders, not out of genuine concern for me."
Lu Lingche felt wronged, "Grandma just gave me a suggestion; I wasn’t compelled to prepare the pigeon soup for you. Knowing you love it, I immediately sought the best chef to make it for you. How can you wrongly accuse my sincerity?"
Qiao Yin took another sip of the soup, "Anyway, I only believe that Grandma truly cares for me. As for you, it’s hard to say."
Lu Lingche shook his head helplessly but said nothing more. Whether or not he was sincere, she would find out in the future.
However, her attitude towards him had already improved a lot compared to the past, clearly showing she was gradually starting to trust him.
After dinner, Lu Lingche pulled Qiao Yin to the sofa in the living room, planning to watch another horror movie with her.
But as soon as he turned on the TV, Yu Fei appeared at the door. He knocked softly and said, "President Lu, the Chairman is here, he says he has something to discuss with you. Do you want to see him?"
Lu Lingche was a bit surprised. After buying this villa and moving in, Lu Mingzhen’s visits here could be counted on one hand. He wouldn’t come unless it was something important.
"Let him in!"
There were always bodyguards outside the villa, and without Lu Lingche’s permission, even Lu Mingzhen couldn’t enter.
A moment later, the door to the living room opened, and Lu Mingzhen walked in.
His face was frosted over, his demeanor fraught with barely suppressed anger. He was just about to scold Lu Lingche, but he turned his head and saw Qiao Yin was there too.
"Qiao Yin? What are you doing here?"
Qiao Yin felt a bit awkward. She had divorced Lu Lingche, and Lu Mingzhen even compensated her with a billion dollars in the settlement. And here she was, still at Lu Lingche’s house, caught by Lu Mingzhen!
She hurriedly said, "I’ll be leaving right away."
Lu Mingzhen, "No, that’s not what I meant. You—"
Lu Lingche swiftly grabbed Qiao Yin, "Come back, don’t leave. I’ll go talk to my dad outside, you watch the movie by yourself for a bit, and I’ll be back soon to watch it with you."
Qiao Yin stood there, not knowing whether to go or stay.
Lu Lingche pressed her to sit on the sofa and then headed outside.
Lu Mingzhen obviously had things on his mind, and at this point, he couldn’t be concerned about Qiao Yin either, so he too stepped out.
Lu Lingche closed the door so that the cold wind wouldn’t blow in and make Qiao Yin catch cold.
Then, he turned to his father, "What is it?"
